Off track

Hello to all you rolling with the punches

Last night I was checking my messages on my phone. It has a track ball to help me navigate the screen. I deleted the messages that were junk, both of them. Then I saw that I had a text message. In the layout of the phone this icon is above where I can check my e-mail. To my dismay and agitation I noticed that I could not make the cursor go up. The track ball appeared to be stuck. It would go down and left to right with ease, but not go up.

I did what I could, which was not much, but still success eluded me. Wendy suggested I turned the phone off. I tried that but nothing. It still seemed stuck. We took out the battery to let the phone reset itself. Did not work. Wendy suggested changing the setting on the track ball. I used her phone to figure out where that setting was. I found it on her phone, but of course on my the cursor was at the present time lower than where I needed to be.

After cutting the phone off and on I was able to get the cursor in the right position to make the changes. I made the changes and viola! It worked! For two seconds. I did find that I was able to move the cursor if I slid my finger somewhat under the ball. It is hard to explain, but it worked.

Wendy seemed to think it might work better in the morning. I gave it a try this morning and it seemed a little more free. I actually had to return the setting back to lower because it was moving too fast and I could not click on what I wanted.

It is not working at 100%, but I can deal with it at least. At least I will be called when the roll is up yonder.
